I would highly recommend Sonia for any speaking engagement or event!”

“Sonia is one gutsy woman, her story of humble beginnings that led her to self- motivated success was very inspiring. She introduced us to the concept of confidence and leadership in our roles (even if we don’t have Manager or Leader in our titles) and she managed to keep a fairly chatty crowd engaged and eager to hear more.”
